Gods and Legions - first UK edition

by Michael Curtis Ford

This breathtaking account of the life of Julian begins in 354 AD. when, as a young scholar in Athens, he suddenly becomes the last survivor of a bloody political purge that killed his entire family. Unexpectedly summoned to the court of the Emperor Constantius, he fears the worst—only to find himself promoted to Caesar of the Western Empire. Julian proves to be a military genius, crushing the German tribes that have threatened Rome for generations, ultimately defying his own emperor against overwhelming odds, risking civil war and seizing the Empire for himself. All while still only 30. He then sets his sights on the Persian Empire.
